This is a post on the NxRev Site. There are so many choices when looking for a 3D CAD solution that the search can become as complicated as the products you’ll design with it. Many companies get bogged down in… Continue Reading →
This is a post by Natasha Reaves on the Rand 3D Site. In Creo Parametric 5.0, simplified representations have been enhanced by reducing the multiple predefined representations down to the Automatic Representation. In an Automatic Representation, the minimum required data… Continue Reading →
This is a post by Al Dean on PTC site. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but products are getting better looking—even in places where you wouldn’t expect it. Let’s look at two examples. The first is the humble forklift… Continue Reading →
